VINCENTRIC RECOGNIZES THREE HYUNDAI MODELS IN BEST FLEET VALUE IN AMERICA AWARDS FOR THEIR LOW COST OF OPERATION

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 27, 2017 – Hyundai’s 2017 Elantra SE, 2017 Sonata Hybrid and 2017 Tucson
models have been recognized as having the best fleet value in their
respective categories by Vincentric, a trusted name in measuring and
analyzing overall cost of vehicle ownership and operation. The Elantra
led the compact category in best fleet value for the third time, while
the Tucson won its second award in the compact SUV/Crossover category.
The 2017 Sonata Hybrid rounded out Hyundai’s wins with its first honor
in the hybrid segment.

The Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards
recognize specific vehicles and trims which have the lowest total cost
of ownership in the greatest number of measured lifecycle cost
scenarios. Now in its 12th year, the prize measures
cost-of-ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees
& taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost
and repairs. Winners were identified by determining which vehicles had
the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in the most scenarios for its segment.

“The
versatility, quality and fuel efficiency of our product lineup allow
fleet operators and consumers alike to have an ownership experience that
is low in cost and hassle,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager,
product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Customer-focused features
like the Elantra’s comprehensive safety characteristics, the engaging
driving features of the Sonata Hybrid and the advanced infotainment
technology of the Tucson exemplify our commitment of delivering a
high-quality driving experience without sacrificing value and
reliability.”

“Our Best Fleet Value in America award highlights
vehicles that retain their value throughout their fleet lifecycle,” said
David Wurster, president of Vincentric. “Hyundai’s wins across several
different categories is a testament to their ability to deliver high
value with a wide product mix in the commercial vehicle space.”
